They are on the hook with Ryan for 2 more years.

I think at this point kev is drunk, he is not being anywhere close to rational or following the conversation

Are you drunk? I am not basing anything on mock drafts. Its a fact that 4 qbs have never gone in the top 7 and its extremely debatable at best that teams will have Lance above Fields. But yeah, you be you

I like Lance a lot and will be happy if we draft him at 8 but everything you say here is 100% on point. On the podcast to pros podcast this week they discussed how Lance runs a NFL offense and makes call at the LOS but yes he needs a lot of seasoning. So which team ahead of us can afford that????

Again, based on your premise you are either saying that 4 qbs go in the the top 7 and/or a team will select Lance over Fields. Both of which carry astronomical odds. But you be you dude.

Thats not even an apples to oranges comparison, thats like apples to tunafish. You are comparing what one team did vs the league. If you are planning your draft strategy around something that literally hasnt happened in the modern era of football then you are doing it wrong. 4 qbs will not be taken in the top 7 picks. Its just not going to happen for an insane number of reasons. Mostly that there will never be a qb class that warrants it

4qbs have never gone in the top 7 picks, thats including the modern era of football where qb's are the most valuable position in any sport. So you are either saying history is going to happen in April or that someone will pick Lance over Fields. Both of which look like insurmountable odds

okay lol

He is 100% going to be there at 8. Just a question of will the panthers still be there.

I’m still in the trust rhule camp and will be on board 110% if he is the pick, that said this pick whomever it’s is will be the key or downfall to his tenure so I suspect they know this and will do extensive research on all fronts. It will be a hard pill to swallow if it’s Jones over lance for sure but I think Jones can probably be a starter in the nfl. A Kirk cousins or Matt Ryan

I havent lived in Charlotte in years and I have no sources within the organization at all. The only person I know that even works there is a dude I went to high school with and he started in the ticket dept in 1997 and has worked his way up and around. Having said that I am not really close to him but I am close to his best friend and last night we had a high school zoom meet up to check in on a bunch of us. Towards the end after a few people had dropped out someone asked the Panther dude about the draft and the team in general and he didnt say much about watson or the draft just the same general things you read here or online. But he did say something that caught my ears, he said he has personally heard Rhule talking about mac jones and others in the building that seem high on him. Not sure what any of that means but thought it was telling that he went out of his way to mention Jones on this zoom meet up knowing we are all fans. I debated even posting this but I said eff it since I hardly ever get anything close to "insider info" anymore. Take it what you will but I am pretty sure its legit and not some elaborate counter intelligence or whatever. In processing this I am thinking that maybe they believe that Jones can play right away and with the core on offense maybe we can do some damage.

Yep, if it was up to me I would shut down any and all talks to the Texans and just plan on picking with the 8th pick. We need to drive his value down if thats how the Texans are going to roll.

Random?

Of course that’s what it is. Pretty sad.

Spoiler alert: 4 firsts

I would do 3 firsts for watson and no other player. But anything more than that I am rolling the dice on the draft. We have too many holes to be giving away a ton of picks

Sure it does. and oof at 5:24 S

We literally have one starter signed for next season. It’s the worst in the league as of today.

I’d give them the 8 and teddy. That’s it

Bad wr’s or not he was chucking balls in the dirt at an alarming rate.

I suspect his personality is what he is referring to.

Yep

So if he is going to be in demand where do you think he signs?

He wasn’t going to hold out

If he plays long enough and if he stays productive
